So I've been wanting to think up another challenge run after my failed Platinum Nuzlocke. I made up a run I called SixMonScratch you guys might have seen me play, but I feel like it is too grindy.
I came up with one called Flawlocke. The standard Nuzlocke rules apply:
>If a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead. Box it or release it
>You can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each area/route
>Nickname each Pokemon caught
Now, with the Flawlocke there is one more additional rule:
>You much catch the next Pokemon that has a type advantage over the newest Pokemon you obtained.
Example: Let's say you are playing Fire Red and you pick Squirtle. The next Pokemon you can catch are Electric types or Grass types. So you have to skip Route 1, Route 22, and Route 2 encounters. Hopefully, you can get a Pikachu in Viridian Forest, if not the nearest Pokemon is Paras in Mt. Moon. If you caught the Pikachu, the next Pokemon you can only catch are Ground types, which Geodude is the next one available in Mt. Moon. Failure to encounter/catch Geodude results in having to get the next Ground type available (which I think is Diglett)
You can go back to previous routes for encounters, but be careful you didn't trigger any encounters before hand.
I think this run forces you to think ahead, and makes each run unique due to Starter choices and Dual-Typing Pokemon weaknesses.
Also, you can't catch a Pokemon that obtains a type later in its evolution. If you caught Pikachu, you can't catch Nidoran hoping for a Nidoking. Nidoran is pure Poison.
Tell me what you think /vp/. I'm gonna start a run on this later
